Pool Ball Collecting.

Hello, gentlemen.
I thought this list might be encouraging to folks just starting out in the simple pastime of pool ball collecting.
Since 2016 and the creation of this thread on AZB, I have purchased the thirty-six sets detailed below.… most of which would not have been possible without such generous help of friends overseas.
In just seven short years these new acquisitions have transformed my collection for the better. Take heart if you’re just starting out… all the great sets are still out there!

Hello, gentlemen.
In an attempt to broaden contacts yet further within the pool ball collecting world, I have created a presence on Twitter (or X as it’s now known).
Entirely non political, just another place to post up pictures and reach out to like-minded souls. Please have a look, post up your own billiard related stuff, and follow me if you can… I promise to reciprocate.

Most older members of the thread are kind enough to indulge my many eccentricities, so hope you will forgive yet another rather random post.
The Roman emperor, Gaius, better known as Caligula, kept a slave called Saturninus who was a 𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢… the Keeper of the Balls. Are we not therefore, my friends, modern day 𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘦?
The attached image shows Saturninus and his occupation, recorded in a small museum in Rome.

Interesting weight of the balls, about four grams lighter than the current standard.
All the best,

They’re slightly smaller, too, Mr W.
That said, my current scales are absolutely woeful so might need to revise my figures in the future.

Thinking about it, my measurement of 2.25 inches is also probably inaccurate.
2.24 would be more like it.

This set of "Direct Site Hexagonal" balls is up now on Ebay. Just past $700 with two days left.
They were up last week too; must not have hit the reserve.

Isn't that the set that was originally listed with a 2K buy it now?
I think so, Mr B.
The seller contacted me but, alas, I’m not a clay era collector.
I hope he does well. The set appears to be in lovely condition and chances are good of finding an appropriate cueball.

Agreed. I think the lack of the original box has a big impact on value.
It appears promising that those Hexagonals might tip over into four figures… currently $860 with eight hours remaining in the auction.
With so many interested parties it would be surprising not to witness a flurry of action at the death.
